My Imaginary Elevator

So I'm sitting in my fourth year of college, not anywhere near to where I'm supposed to be with finishing my degree, and boy does it get harder to continue each day! I have been to 3 different colleges in the last year, and I'm just at the point of giving up! Just when things start looking horrible, bad grades...tons of homework...tons of classes...at the point of saying I'M DONE with this! I decided I needed a break from school, so I took the semester off. BEST choice I've ever made! I'm back in school now, and things are looking great. I'm only taking two classes, but I can proudly say that I am doing very very well in them. Thanks to the loving, understanding and ever so helpful, husband God has provided me, things seem to be going waaaay easier!
I guess I just need to learn to let go of my problems and trust God. My great sister-in-law (sandra), who used to be one of my Y's teachers, once told us that when we have so many problems and feel as if we can't handle it, Don't! She said to just pretend we have this imaginary elevator that we can throw all of our problems in. The best thing about this elevator is that it's only a one way-- UP! So I put these problems (school) in this elevator and sent it straight up to God and said...God, you can, better than I can! Please deal with this! Sure enough...God has provided and I feel as if a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. So thanks sis for that awesome advice that I always carry with me :)
